20 Fabulous Felines With Unique and Rare Fur Patterns and Markings

No matter how many cats you have seen, there are always more out there that will amaze you with their uniqueness.

Here at ICHC, we like to say that every single cat is unique. Because it is true. Especially to that cat's owner. We say that as people who own the simplest cats - simple in every way. They are still special. There is always something. Maybe at first glance, someone else wouldn't see it. But you know. Some of the simplest cats have a folded ear or two. Maybe these cats have an extra toe bean. Maybe they have a single paw that is a different color or a stripe on their tail that seems like it shouldn't be there. There is always something to make them unique.

With all that said, we have to admit that some cats instantly look different and unique - without having to so much as squint. There are always cats with unique fur patterns - things that are rare and unexpected. And the beautiful thing about the internet - and our jobs as people writing for ICHC - is that we can put together a list of these special kitties for all of you guys to view and enjoy.

This has got to be one of the most unique colors that we have ever seen on a cat. We have seen black cats, we have seen fluffy cats like this, we have seen brown cats, but this beautiful burgundy color is something that we don't think we have ever seen before. It's just proof that there is always something new to discover about cats, no matter how obsessed with them you are and have been for the past- entire life. There is always some new and exciting reason to fall in love with them even more than you were before.

We know that what these kitties have is a condition, but we cannot deny how beautiful they are with it. At every stage of it, when the fur is just starting to get these specks or when the specks turn to splotches, it just makes the cats look even more ethereal than they already do. Vitiligo, thankfully, is not a condition that hurts the cats or causes them any harm. It doesn't need treatment. It's just there, making our cats look much, much cooler than they already do, and once again, we find yet another reason to fall in love with them.
